Chapter 33: How Ridiculous!

At that moment.

‘Bang!’ Someone kicked the door open!

“I indeed looked down on your Project S.” A clear voice drifted in from the outside.

The two people looked towards the entrance and saw the person who had barged in.

She stood against the light.

She wore Yi Zhong High School’s school uniform over her shoulders and carelessly carried her school bag in her hands as though it was light.

Black eyes and long, black hair.

As she raised her head, she wore an icy smile. She said, “The Su Corporation will not cooperate with you for this project, and neither will I apologize.”

She said it word by word.

“Qingqing?” Su Ruohua seemed a little startled.

She never expected that Su Huiqing would say such words, but then again, it suited her current style.

Zhang Mingxi snapped back to his senses and glanced at Su Huiqing with a sharp, narrow gaze. “Look down? What rights do you have to look down on our project? Auntie Su, you have heard it as well! Missy Su said that she looked down on our Project S and will not apologize!”

Su Ruohua glared at Su Huiqing.

But she then turned her attention to Zhang Mingxi and shot him a stern gaze. “Let’s not talk about Qingqing for now. But aren’t you the one who broke off the engagement? You also mentioned that you will not give up the collaborative projects, so why did you withdraw your investment for the southern projects?”

What was the point of killing a thousand of enemies by self-destructing eight hundred of your troops?

“Pff—” When she heard Su Ruohua’s words, Zhang Mingxi laughed.

He looked at Su Ruohua with mockery and pity. “Auntie Su, you are not clear of the predicament your Su Corporation is in. You are begging us now and not the other way round! I tried to give leeway to you, but you didn’t take it so don’t beg me on your knees once your company will fall!”

Su Ruohua stared at Zhang Mingxi while her chest heaved up and down. He had angered her.

Su Huiqing immediately turned her head and shot Zhang Mingxi with a narrowed gaze. As she turned, her black hair swooshed in the air. Walking towards Zhang Mingxi, she said, “Zhang Mingxi, do you know what the financial sector in the International a.s.sociation cares about the most? The word ‘trust.’ People like you who don’t even possess the simplest of trust can never enter the International a.s.sociation! Even if you do—”

She stopped walking and stood right in front of him. With gritted teeth, she said in a tone of voice only they could hear, “I will bring all of you down one by one!”

Her voice had a casual tinge to it, and she even smirked.

She was still holding her school bag as she stared at him.

Zhang Mingxi’s heartbeat doubled its pace in fear. He experienced that strange feeling again.

Su Huiqing chuckled and placed a hand over Su Ruohua’s shoulders. “Mom, let’s go.”

“But—” Su Ruohua was a little hesitant because if she left without settling matters, the Su Family would enter a dangerous state.

“Let’s go,” she repeated while she looked at Su Ruohua.

Her pair of eyes were pitch-black.

But strangely, it calmed down Su Ruohua, and she followed Su Huiqing out.

With furrowed brows, Zhang Mingxi stared as they both left his office.

His phone rang all of a sudden. He glanced at it and felt secretly delighted.

If everything happened back then, he definitely would not dare to provoke the Su Family. But he had the upper hand this time! Mr. Zhou had Shen Anan’s back, while he had a mysterious person helping him out, too.

“Mr. Kyle.” Even if he was speaking on the phone, he pulled a face full of respect. “We’ve completed the first step of our plan, what should we do next?”

“Hold a press conference and earn funding.” The voice that drifted through the phone was a little deep. “I will make all of you enter the International a.s.sociation within five years.”

Zhang Mingxi’s eyes lit up. However, he could not help but ask one more time since he had invested a huge sum of money. “Mr. Kyle, nothing will go wrong, right?”

“Look ahead. This is just a mere Green City. No matter what I do, I can easily make you into a tyrant.” A chuckle resounded from the other end of the line. “Little kid, when I was active in the financial sector of the International a.s.sociation, you weren’t born yet. In this world, only one person could spoil my plans…”

“Who?” Zhang Mingxi was nervous.

Kyle also had a clear pause. “That person is already dead… You don’t have to worry. Even if she was still alive and saw through my plans, she wouldn’t bother to deal with all of you. Let’s carry on to the second stage. Let’s use Su Corporation as an opening act! I don’t like hearing their name.”

–

In the Yu Residences.

‘Swoosh!’ Yu Xiangyang stood on the wooden barrel and used a towel to wipe himself. He then slipped on his clothes and proceeded downstairs.

“Grandpa, dad, mom. I’m going to look for Qingqing,” he hurriedly said as he b.u.t.toned up.

“How are you feeling?” Old Master Yu stood up and walked to his side. He had a nervous gaze on his grandson.

Yu Xiangyang tilted his head to look at him. “My body feels lighter. I have understood the first level of the Crouching Tiger Technique. Grandpa, the book that Qingqing casually took from a corner is even better than your Long Fist Technique!”

“You…” Old Master Yu stroked his beard and glared at him. “Forget it. I’m going to talk about serious matters now. You haven’t been in contact with the outside world. So you’re probably not aware that the Su Family is in a crisis.”

“What happened?” Yu Xiangyang’s hands stopped its movements.

“Zhang Corporation is being arrogant lately.” On the other side, Father Yu put down his teacup and pa.s.sed over a stack of doc.u.ments to Yu Xiangyang. “There should be someone else helping them from behind. The families backing up the Su Corporation also left. With a few large collaborative projects now left stranded, the Su Corporation cannot retrieve their funds. They are all waiting for the Su Corporation to file for bankruptcy.”

Yu Xiangyang’s heart jumped in shock, and he took the doc.u.ments to take a look. “How can the Zhang Corporation be so shameless! What are these?”

“Helping them when they need it.” Old Master Yu clasped his hands together. “We can only help this much since we don’t know who is backing up the Zhang Corporation.”

When Yu Xiangyang heard about this news, what else could he think about? He took his jacket and left.

As he swayed his hand, a sheet of paper fell to the ground.

“What is this?” When Old Master Yu saw what was written on the paper from the corner of his eyes, he momentarily froze. He picked it up to have a clearer view of it, and his expression changed afterward.

Yu Xiangyang turned his head and immediately recognized that sheet of paper. “That is the alien scribble that Qingqing wrote at the training room!”

When Old Master Yu heard that, he immediately raised his head. With a quivering voice, he asked, “It’s her?”

“Xiangyang, wait for me.” He turned back and took his coat as well. In a hurry, he said, “I’m heading to the Su Residences with you!”

“Dad, isn’t it just alien scribbles? What happened to you?” Behind him, Father Yu was a little bewildered.

Those alien scribbles made a fool out of the Su Family before!

“What do you mean by alien scribbles?!” Old Master Yu turned back and remarked in a stern tone. “This is a special language used in international battlefields. What do you know?!”

Even if someone called a person connected to the International a.s.sociation as a good-for-nothing, it was fine. But calling the special language she wrote on the paper as alien scribbles was utterly ridiculous!
